Describe the issue

There are currently happening several political strikes in Finland, where unions are taking their stance against the goverment.

Few days ago the maintainer of FIN: Finnish Addition to Easylist -list, called Adblocker for Finland. Decided to block several union websites to make political statement about these strikes.

I really think filter lists aren't suitable enviroment to make political statements and the maintainer is clearly abusing his power with actions like these. Thus please consider removing this filterlist from uBo's assets.json

Rough ranslation: Statement about the union strikes. Will be removed after the strikes.
Screenshot of FB post made by the maintainer
Rough translation: As an objection to actions of trade unions.The finnish adblocking list now block sites of those unions which are joining the strike. Not all sites are there, but more are coming. They will removed after the unions start to respect the goverment again by ending these political strikes.
